Title: Improvements in and relating to image processing
Inventor: DANIEL VALDEZ-BALDERAS
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 2020-08-26
Abstract: A method for processing an image comprises detecting a plurality of objects within an input image 34. The dimensions of a display 42 on which the input image is to be displayed are determined. The input image is then cropped to obtain a cropped image 44 which matches the determined dimensions.

Title: A detector system
Inventor: PETER ROBERT GEORGE
IPC: G01S5/18
Filed: 2019-05-02
Abstract: A no ball detector monitors the area of the popping crease for the impact of a howler's foot with the ground and the passage of the heel of the foot across the popping crease using an accelerometer in the bowlers shoe for detecting foot impacts and triggering an ultrasonic transmission from a transmitter on the howlers shoe. An array of ultrasonic detectors calculates the position of the heel of the bowlers foot from the transmission and displays the location of the heel. If the bowlers shoe heel is calculated as being in front of the rear of the popping crease then the ball is a no bail.
